MET, founded in 1984, exists to raise awareness of environmental issues through promoting open discussion of global and local concerns, stimulating scientific enquiry and debate through our unique position as a politically neutral charitable body.

The Merseyside Environmental Trust is a politically neutral charitable body that operates on an entirely voluntary basis, relying on membership fees and kind donations to raise awareness of sustainability issues, stimulate debate, award small grants to local organisations and act as a signposting body for environmental events and activities across the region.
